It seems like someone we know is always getting married. Whether you’re a loyal member of the bride tribe or the blushing bride-to-be, honoring the big day consists of a lot more than just the wedding ceremony. From the bachelorette party to the bridal shower, planning memorable pre-marriage celebrations doesn’t have to be stressful! See our bridal celebration ideas below.

If you’re looking to plan an epic bachelorette party, why not an adults-only trip to Disney?? Kristy celebrated her sister-in-law’s upcoming nuptials with a weekend in the happiest place on Earth and had a blast! She recommends going without kids to Disney at least once in your life, because the experience is so different when you don’t have to worry about the little ones.

Make sure you grab matching magical tees, fun coordinating mouse ears, and, if you really want to get crazy, princess-themed outfits for going out at night!! We all know the bride is royalty, so what better occasion to show off your queenship.

After all of that celebrating, you’re probably going to want a little help recovery. These bachelorette party survival kits make the perfect gift for all the gals! Your bride and bridal party will be as good as new in no time with these essentials.

For a bridal shower, you’re going to want to gift something practical but something the bride wouldn’t necessarily buy for herself. How about this: a mini wine fridge with a customized wine subscription! Who wouldn’t want delicious wines delivered right to their door, especially with all that stress of wedding planning?! Don’t forget your “Miss to Mrs.” banner in case anyone forgot who all those gifts are for.

A “bride” silk robe is a must. Whether she wants to wear it on her wedding day or lounging around her house while she dreams of being the future Mrs., this is one bridal tradition you don’t want to forgo.

Games are a bridal shower must! This ring game is a fun way to get everyone involved and share a few laughs over some healthy competition.

These party favors are perfect for your bridal shower guests! Kiss the miss goodbye with Hershey’s Kisses and champagne lip balm. Pucker up!!

Ah, the kids are growing up and now they’re off to college! If it’s your child’s first year away at school, making sure you have all the dorm room essentials can be stressful and expensive. Amazon has everything you need to make your collegiate kiddo’s dorm room feel like a home away from home though, without having to spend their entire college tuition fund. See some of our picks below.

Comforter Set | Sheet Set | Storage Bag Organizers | Closet Organizer | Desk Organizer | Drawer Organizers | Towel Set | Lap Laptop Desk | Space-Saving Hangers | Portable Shower Caddy | First Aid Kid | Laundry Detergent Kit | Laundry Hamper

A simple way to add a little unique style to a bland dorm room is with bedding. These sheets and this comforter set bring some flair and personality to the accommodations. If you’ve ever lived in, or even just spent time in a college dorm room, you know they aren’t very expansive. Additional storage and organization options are key to making the most of a small space. These storage bag organizers, this closet organizer, and these space-saving hangers are great options for maximizing space. This desk organizer and these drawer organizers can help keep odds and ends in order and out of the way. Plus, this lap laptop desk is awesome to use as a workspace if a full desk area isn’t available. With communal bathrooms being common in dorm buildings, a good personal towel set and portable shower caddy for easy transportation of toiletries are both must-haves. And laundry won’t be such a hassle with this hamper/laundry bag combo and laundry detergent kit. Finally, because we are all aware that minor bumps and bruises are a part of the experience, a first aid kid is an essential for any dorm room.
